Jobbeschreibung

Are you passionate about providing compassionate, inclusive care to patients, families, and staff? Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a dedicated Chaplain to join our Department of Spiritual and Pastoral Care.

As a Chaplain, you will offer pastoral, spiritual and religious support across the Trust, responding to referrals, visiting wards and departments regularly, and participating in a 24/7 on-call rota for urgent and emergency care. You will play a vital role in bereavement care, including delivering the Trust's contract funeral service for families experiencing pregnancy or baby loss, child bereavement, or for adults without next of kin.

You'll act as a specialist resource on spiritual, religious, pastoral and ethical matters, working closely with internal colleagues and external faith and belief communities to ensure high-quality, inclusive care.

If you are committed to supporting people through some of life's most challenging moments and have the experience to offer sensitive, professional guidance, we would love to hear from you.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as 'outstanding' for care and our King's Mill Hospital as the only 'outstanding' NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
